Venus , Mars , Jupiter , Saturn and Mercury are currently visible with the naked eye for skywatchers in the Northern Hemisphere .

Uranus and Neptune are also part of this month ’s planetary showcase but are harder to spot because they require binoculars or a telescope.

The best time to see the planets is after dusk on a clear night in a spot that is away from city lights and other forms of light pollution.
